Nice collection! any mods?

Are we sure we want to start the "mine's bigger than your's subthread...."?

I check craigslist from time to time for our robotic friends. There have been some listings, but no deals that I've seen. The folks in my area have been listing them for about what they are selling for new off the shelf.

I did recently use Craigslist to move some clutter _out_ of the yard. The dollars were nice, but the removal of unused, and in the way, sports equipment was the real bonus.

We have a couple of overstock and old stock liquidators in business in my area. That's where I've found my best deals. I got my RoboReptile, Alive Chimp, and Spykee from them for a fraction of the original list.

Usually my RSV2 says he has a bad motorvator when he's just fallen over. Maybe it thinks it's lying down all the time?
Have a look at some of these threads, it might help.....

Grandlarseny37 said: Idrum289, when your V2 says the bad motivator line when lying down, is it able to get up? Mine will only say it when lying down and unable to pick itself up. Maybe the batteries need to be replaced?

No, mine said it on 3 occasions, all of which were a face plant which prompted the bad motorvator phrase. As you know, it can't pick itself up from that position, only when it's lying down on it's back.

Does yours say it when it's lying down on it's back or when it's face down?

Oh, sounds like it's the tilt sensors in the feet but I could be wrong. Mine's never had a problem in that area so I can't help. Perhaps someone else here has managed to fix the problem or can identify what is the cause?
Mine's said the bad motorvator phrase as I said, but on those occasions that was the appropriate response as he'd fallen over face first.
